TTC First Time... #3!!

[MistyBxx]

Hey girlies, thought I'd make a new thread for us to continue on!!xx

Congratulations @SophSoph92! Such lovely news. We got married in Feb, and it was the best day ever. I loved all the build up to the big day (we were engaged and married in just under a year). The memories afterwards are lovely too. We went for a drink (decaf latte for me!) at our venue today, and it was so nice reminiscing. Enjoy every minute 😊.

Congratulations @SophSoph92!! That's such wonderful news x

Hello ladies, I keep waking up at 5am at the moment. I think it's because my mind is overactive! @JellyBean89, how are you feeling?

@Flatwhite I am ok, tired but good. 9 weeks along now so I'm only 3 weeks away from the 12 weeks mark and I can't wait for it lol. How are you feeling?

3 day before period is due...
Is there a line???

That's not just me is it?!

It's a squinter but it's there I think! Xx

Second one did the same!

😬😬😬 maybe get a FRER or a clear blue digital as well?! Congratulations though!!! Xxx

Definitely! I'm going straight to get one tomorrow morning!
:)

There is definitely a line! Congratulations! I agree get a frer or clearblue xxx

It's a yes!
Can't believe it. Just want to get to 12 weeks now though. I'm nervous!

Awww congratulations @SophSoph92 we seem to be having a little run of luck on this thread, long may it continue!

Congratulations @SophSoph92, wishing a happy and healthy 9 months x

Hi ladies! Sorry I have been AWOL! Congrats @SophSoph92! Brilliant news. Wishing you a happy, healthy 9 months.

@Jellybean89, can't believe you're now so close to 12 weeks. Time is flying in. I'm 6 weeks on Wed and still as paranoid as ever. No sickness yet, but starting to get shaky and having to eat on demand as a result. I don't have my first midwife appt til ten weeks, so I'm just hoping and praying everything will be ok.

Just thought I would pop by 💕 so lovely to see all the BFPs!

Hey @mrsjkerry! Lovely to 'see' you! You must be 20+ weeks now? Hope you're keeping well!

Yes 23 weeks this Thursday. Back is killinggggggg today!

Hey girlies, massive congratulations @SophSoph92 ! Brilliant news!!
@Flatwhite31 I've been like that... literally if there's no food in my mouth, I feel nauseous as hell ! It started end of week 6 and seems to be subsiding now I'm at the start of week 9 x

Wow 9 weeks already @MistyBxx! I feel a lot better today. How are you? I'm 6 weeks tomorrow. I can't stop worrying, and keep thinking I should feel sicker etc.

Thanks everyone! So I guess I'm officially 4 weeks tomorrow, can anyone tell me when the panic is going to end?? Not missed a complete period yet and am scaring the hell out of myself that this is going to be a chemical pregnancy :(
Also, is it normal to be crazy emotional so early on??

Oh girls I wish there was something I could say that would ease your worries but there's honestly not!
My best advice would be to distract yourself as much as possible. Last time, I was so obsessed with my pregnancy, I was freaking out all day every day, thinking the worst, crying over everything, googling everything, and guess what, I miscarried anyway. It was hideous! And thinking, stressing and worrying about it did... absolutely nothing.

This time, I've made sure I've got other stuff going on... just sold my car, bought a new car, I'm moving house first week of August (which will also be coincidentally week 12 for me!) but I'm focusing on the house move, NOT the pregnancy or the weeks!
I know it seems impossible but literally please try and do other stuff. Make plans for the next few weeks which will take into account your milestones but won't obsess over them! Look forward to other things! Drink lots of water, try and eat as well as you can (lol... I've put 8lbs on in 5 weeks lol) and take some preg vitamins.
And just quieten your mind. Think and focus on anything else but your belly!😂
I know sounds daft but distraction has made ALL the difference to me this time!
Literally you've got your bfp... now forget about it 😂 sounds crazy but you'll be surprised how quick the time goes when you've got other stuff going on and in your head!x

Thanks @MistyBxx, that makes sense! I will do my best :)

Great advice @MistyBxx! I'll stick to that! I'm having weird food aversions, but they seem to change every day. I was supposed to be making quesadillas tonight, but the thought of any Mexican food (which I love) is turning my stomach!
@SophSoph92, do you have an estimated due date? You can get them online if not. If you're March/early April, I'm part of a lovely March 2018 thread which you're welcome to join.

I'm on one named pregnancies due in march 2018 :)
